You can admit it, we won't make fun of you. Much. Anyway.... our summer has come a bit early this year. That means you really, really, really need to bring the sunscreen. Really! You may think its no problem, but you are so going to hurt when you are five shades of red. And I am so going to slap you on your sun-burnt back and say "Hey! How's it going?" and then step quickly out of the way of you trying to punch me in the nose!

We're not bogarting it..... you were asleep when the nice lady came down the aisle and asked if you would like some summer. We told her not to wake you because you were doing that cute little thing where your nose twitches when you dream.
